Beautiful and Kind

Outside my window

floats the head of a woman

looking in. Strangely

I live on the top floor.

She reminds me of the one

in my dream-serene,

beautiful and kind, to whom

all said shines in goodness

on her face, even as I denounce

her a fraud. I must kiss her,

I say in gratitude and prepare

to step out the window.
